49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) seeing specialist in Germany

Adam Schefter on X

Sep 23 · 8:00 PM EDT

And to top it off, 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is seeing a specialist in Germany regarding his Achilles tendinitis.

Related players: Jordan Mason, Isaac Guerendo, Patrick Taylor

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't sound good for CMC. Now owners can't help but wonder if McCaffrey will be back after missing his four games on IR. Mason has filled in well, gaining 5.2 yards per attempt with two touchdowns on the season. But at this point, with CMC seemingly a huge question mark, it may be time to pick up players like Guerendo and Taylor. Guerendo was the only other back to get carries in Week 3, running five times for 19 yards.

Schefter: 49ers placing Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve

The 49ers are placing RB Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) on injured reserve, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers had been leaning in this direction. They will now be without CMC for at least the next four weeks, meaning he will miss games against the Vikings, Rams, Patriots and Cardinals. He'll probably also miss a fifth game, as the 49ers have a short week after the Cardinals game before a Thursday night game in Week 6 against the Seahawks. Perhaps he can return for the Super Bowl LVIII rematch in Week 7 against the Chiefs. For now, it will be the Jordan Mason Show after his huge Week 1 performance against the Jets -- 28 carries, 147 yards.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey ruled OUT for Week 2, possible IR trip on horizon

Tom Pelissero

Sep 13 · 5:27 PM EDT

The 49ers are now considering placing Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve, which would sideline him this week plus three more games, Shanahan said.

Related Players: Jordan Mason, Isaac Guerendo, Patrick Taylor

Fantasy Impact:

While it's possible that the team brings in another back, they sure weren't opposed to giving Jordan Mason a phenomenal workload last Monday. As it stands, Mason is a must-rostered, must-start option for as long as McCaffrey is out.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey "feels like" a longshot to play Week 2

Ian Rapoport

Sep 11 · 9:21 AM EDT

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles/calf) feels like a long-shot for Sunday against the Vikings.

Related Players: Jordan Mason, Isaac Guerendo

Fantasy Impact:

Jordan Mason went nuclear as a last-minute start in Week 1, so he should be in fantasy lineups of McCaffrey misses again. Guerendo and even Patrick Taylor could be rotated in a little more in Week 2, but aren't worth fantasy stashes quite yet.
